Description
CloudLab is a flying science rover. It launches from the runway, lands in the target biome, and can be driven to additional nearby biomes for maximum science collection in a single sortie. It can carry all scinece instruments as they are unlocked. Its onboard lab can process results for more return on transmission, reset materials and goo for multiple uses, and store multiple copies of experiments. Finally it can be flown back to KSC for maximum cost recovery.
Crew: If you prefer SAS in flight and manual landings, take a pilot. If you prefer to land by parachute, take an engineer to repack the chutes. Make sure there are two scientists in the lab before takeoff.
These craft require level-2 SPH. Tech required +180 (total 470 science points):
